Facebook Losing The Critical Teen Demographic

Facebook still says it's growing, but it's beginning to lose the critical teen demographic, at least in the US, according to Piper Jaffray and shown below in an infographic from Statista.

Facebook is also beginning to see attrition with bands and brands as well, since it's more difficult than ever to reach your entire audience without paying (the average post only reaches about 16%). With fewer teens paying attention, there's less and less of a reason for an artist, band or musician to be on the network. You won't see a mass exodus from the service yet, but watch out in the future!

Yes but Facebook as a company is still capitalizing on the teen demographic because they own instagram.
